  • Patent number: 7443929
    Abstract: A method for adaptively controlling bandwidth of a carrier recovery loop in radio transmission systems, wherein the phase error in a PLL is adjusted to a minimum level by means of a loop filter incorporated in said PLL. The phase noise value in the local oscillator is determined and the value of the additive white gaussian noise in the PLL is estimated. Next these values are applied in a predetermined mathematical relationship indicative of the phase error in said PLL in such a manner that the desired wavelength of the PLL can be determined by corresponding to a minimum value of the phase error.

  • Patent number: 7274715
    Abstract: A method and apparatus is described for the automatic delay compensation in space diversity radio transmissions. The method includes the steps of: a) receiving a first analog signal and a second analog signal, a possible delay being between the first and second signals; b) sampling the first and the second analog signals to obtain a first digital signal and a second digital signal, respectively; c) sending the digital signals to respective equalizers, and the steps of d) digitally delaying one of the first digital signal and the second digital signal by a period equal to an integral multiple of the sampling period, and e) recoverying, at the equalization phase, the residual difference between the imposed delay and the actual one.
